I had been contemplating the demise of the sole pear residing in my willow basket . I refused to cast the pear soul into the trash bin, so I transformed it into 2 Tablespoons of Pear Butter, spooned the spread into the piccolo Italian dish and gave thanks for the generosity of my single pear.
1 part water, 2 parts apple cider, 3 parts pear.
Recipe is from The Forgotten Art of Making Old-Fashioned Jellies, Jams, Preserves, Conserves, Marmalades, Butters, Honeys and Leathers.

As you can probably tell, food blogging can become quite the obsession. 2 Tablespoons of pear butter?????personifying pears????piccolo dish???
